We were delighted with the weather and even more delighted with the warmth and love we received from the crowd. From winks and nods to clapping, cheers, and heartfelt thanks, the appreciation was genuine and deeply moving.
Our bright shirts worked a treat, helping us stand out and feel united. All 76 of us.The day was full of emotion for many of us, with volunteers sharing how much it meant to walk together and feel the crowd’s love.
Comments included:
- “I loved being part of Pride yesterday – I got quite emotional at times with the cheers of support from the crowd.”

- “It was such an honour walking with you all; I was quite choked up from the support and reaction from the crowd.”
We were well received every step of the way, and your warmth and dedication shone through. Thank you also to all the family and friends who joined – you are a huge part of our Pride presence.
Lastly – and most importantly – a BIG, BIG, BIG THANK YOU for all your support! You made this a day to remember, and we are so grateful to each and every one of you.
